put a file in ftp://.... and run it from my computer to creat another file
 

sorry for my poor english.
i made a site www.##.com
i want to put a program file in that and run it from my computer to create another file, not create file in my computer then send to the host.
can i do that?
thanks in advance.

If the www.##.com site is on a hosting service, this would depend on the permissions that the hosting service allows to its users. If my previous sentence is correct, you really need to ask the hosting service.

My guess is that most hosting services would not give a user executable permissions.

If I were a hosting service that lots of folks relied on, I sure wouldn't let remote users run programs on my servers. It takes only one bad apple to ruin the barrel.

The original question is muddled and hard to understand.

Do you own the server?
Do you have root access on the server?
Is this really an ftp question, or is it an http question?
Do you want the program to run on the server or client system?
Do you want the output to be stored on the server or client system?
What kind of program is it? What is its ultimate purpose?
When you say "my computer" do you mean your personal workstation or the client system?
When you say "the host" do you mean the server, or the client?

I'm sorry, but you're going to need to rephrase your question. You're not likely to get a useful response until you do.

frankbell, while that is certainly true, many hosting services today lease out virtual computers to isolate bad-apples. Many even give their customers root access. Even some of those who don't virtualize are cavalier enough to allow php to run server-side. You're right, though, that this could be a problem for him.

Thanks for the info.

I think your phrasing, "cavalier enough," is right on.

how can i change permissions for a file and execute it?
i want to work with 'www.../a/s/d' like a local directory.

You didn't answer any of my questions. I can think of about a dozen things you might be trying to do.

If you're trying to execute a program on your computer without downloading it first, why? Just download it and run it.
If you're trying to mount an ftp URI in your filesystem, I'd check out FUSE and CurlFtpFS. I haven't used it, but it's a place to start.

Both of these scenarios are unlikely, but I just can't tell what you're trying to do or why. If you want a good answer, please tell us what you're trying to do.

If you're not writing much because you're having trouble with English, then use http://translate.google.com. Type a longer post in your native tongue, and then use Google translate to put it in English.

thank you for your help.

gd2shoe, i'm trying with FUSE and CurlFtpFS. thanks.

You're welcome, I guess. I wish you the best of luck. I just hope you're not setting up a Rube Goldberg device.
